Jimmy Carter actually said...

"Sustained American strength is the only possible basis for the wider, truly reciprocal detente which we seek with the Soviet Union."

"In the dangerous and uncertain world of today, the keystone of our national security is still military strength."

"The security of our Nation must be the first concern of every President who has ever lived in this house."

"Today, regardless of other disagreements among ourselves, we are united in the belief that we must have a strong defense."
